thanks
T((a,b,c) + (u,v,w)) = T(a+u, b+v, c+w) = (a+u-(b+v), 2(c+w))
= ((a-b)+(u-v), 2c + 2w) = (a-b, 2c) + (u-v, 2w) = T(a,b,c) + T(u,v,w)

T(\alpha (a,b,c)) = T(\alpha a, \alpha b, \alpha c) = (\alpha a - \alpha b, 2\alpha c)

= \alpha (a-b, 2c) = \alpha T(a,b,c)

just do it by definition.. you can easily do the second one..
